Joe is a slang term for a man, Jane is the slang term for a woman, Anna is a
Pakistani unit of measure. The other words: "lezz" = a lesbian, "div"=
divide, "mu" is the 12th letter of the Greek alphabet, "whens"= plural of
when, "visiter" is another spelling of visitor. These are legitimate
Scrabble words. What you need is to purchase an Official Scrabble
Dictionary, they are not expensive - this will not only list acceptable
words, but will also give you the definitions. My husband and I use them
all the time and one requirement for using an obscure word is that you must
read the definition.
Then you would not only be encouraging your students to learn to spell, but
also to use a reference word to increase their vocabulary!!
